DESCRIPTION

mysqld_multi

--config-file=...
    Alternative config file. NOTE: This will not affect this program's own options (group [mysqld_multi]), but only groups [mysqld#]. Without this option everything will be searched from the ordinary my.cnf file.

--example
    Give an example of a config file.

--help
    Print this help and exit.

--log=...
    Log file. Full path to and the name for the log file. NOTE: If the file exists, everything will be appended.

--mysqladmin=...
    mysqladmin binary to be used for a server shutdown.

--mysqld=...
    mysqld binary to be used. Note that you can give safe_mysqld to this option also. The options are passed to mysqld. Just make sure you have mysqld in your environment variable PATH or fix safe_mysqld.

--no-log
    Print to stdout instead of the log file. By default the log file is turned on.

--password=...
    Password for user for mysqladmin.

--tcp-ip
    Connect to the MySQL server(s) via the TCP/IP port instead of the UNIX socket. This affects stopping and reporting. If a socket file is missing, the server may still be running, but can be accessed only via the TCP/IP port. By default connecting is done via the UNIX socket.

--user=...
    MySQL user for mysqladmin.

--version
    Print the version number and exit.

NOTE
Please see the mysql manual for more detailed information on this.
